Extracting Address From A Letter (Word 2000 SR-1)

Topic

When you create a letter in Word and then activate the Labels/Envelope dialog box, Word typically finds the address in your letter document.

Is there any way to ‘find’ this address within VBA?

Yes, there is.

Set dlg = Dialogs(wdDialogToolsEnvelopesAndLabels)

With dlg
.DefaultTab = wdDialogToolsEnvelopesAndLabelsTabEnvelopes
.EnvOmitReturn = True
.ExtractAddress = True
bla, bla, bla

Thanks Kevin. The .ExtractAddress command allows me to get the address in the dialog box, but ultimately, I would like to get the address in a string variable without displaying the built-in dialog box. In addition, even if I display the built-in dialog box, I seem to only capture the first line of the address (from the .AddrText property of the dialog box).

Any further ideas? Thanks!
